States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore in the proportion of 62⅔: 36: 1⅓. 

Explanation.—The balance referred to in this sub-paragraph shall be taken to be one-half of the 
amount payable to the State of Madras as constituted immediately before the appointed day out of the

the Budget Estimates of the Central Government in respect of the financial year 1953-54. 

(2) The States’ share of the taxes on income or of the Union duties of excise payable to the State 
of  Madras  as  constituted  immediately  before  the  appointed  day  in  respect  of  each  of  the  financial 
years commencing on or after the 1st day of April, 1954, shall, until other provision is made by law, 
be also shared between the States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore in the proportion of 62⅔: 36: 1⅓. 

8. The sums at the credit of the Central Road Fund due to the State of Madras immediately before

proportion of 62⅔: 36 : 1⅓. 

9. The shares held immediately before the appointed day by the State of Madras in the Travancore

Government  securities  which  are outstanding  with the  public immediately  before  the  appointed  day 
shall as from such day be the debt of the State of Madras; and the States of Andhra and Mysore shall 
be liable to pay to the State of Madras their shares of the sums due from time to time for the servicing 
and repayment of the debt. For the purpose of determining the said shares, the debt shall be deemed to 
be apportioned between the States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore as if it were a debt referred to in 
sub-paragraph  (2)  of  this  paragraph,  and  the  shares  of  the  States  of  Andhra  and  Mysore  shall  be 
determined accordingly: 

Provided that the liability for any public loan or portion thereof referred to in sub-paragraph (1) of 
paragraph 2 shall, for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, be deemed to be apportioned between the 

37 

States  of  Andhra  and  Madras  in  the  same  proportion  as  may  be  fixed  under  sub-paragraph  (1)  of 
paragraph 2 in regard to the allocation of the proceeds of such loan or portion thereof. 

Explanation.—In  this  sub-paragraph,  the  expression  “Government  securities”  has  the  same 

meaning as in clause (a) of section 2 of the Indian Securities Act, 1920 (10 of 1920) 

(2) The remaining public debt of the State of Madras that is to say, the debt attributable to loans 
taken  from  the  Central  Government,  the  Reserve  Bank  of  India  or  any  other  Bank  before  the 
appointed day, shall be apportioned between the States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore in proportion 
to the total expenditure on all capital works and other capital outlays incurred in the territories of the 
States of Madras and Andhra and the transferred territory up to the commencement of the appointed 
day, including the terms dealt with in paragraph 9 of this Schedule: 

Provided that any loan taken from the Central Government before the appointed day in connection 
with  the  construction  of  buildings,  roads  or  other  works  for  the  temporary  capital  of  the  State  of 
Andhra or for purposes incidental thereto shall to the extent of the expenditure so incurred until that 
day be wholly the liability of the State of Andhra. 

(3) For the purposes of the allocation under sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph, only expenditure 
on  assets  for  which  capital  accounts  have  been  kept  (excluding  the  Buckingham  Canal  and  any 
buildings for which such accounts have been kept) shall be taken into account: 

Provided that the amount of public debt on account of the expenditure on the Tungabhadra Project 
referred to in section 66 shall be reallocated on such basis as may be agreed upon between the States 
concerned,  or,  if  no  agreement  is  entered  into  within  two  years  from  the  appointed  day,  as  may  be 
fixed by order of the President. 

(4) All sinking funds for loans raised before the appointed day by the Government of Madras shall 
remain with the State of Madras and the net amount of such funds shall be taken into consideration in 
allocating the dues on account of such loans between the States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore. 

(5) In order to compensate the State of Andhra finally for its relatively smaller share of buildings, 
its  share  in  the  liability  on  account  of  debt  to  be  apportioned  between  the  States  of  Andhra  and 
Madras under sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph shall be reduced by 230.4 lakhs of rupees and the 
share of the State of Madras in such liability shall be correspondingly increased. 

13. Civil deposits and local fund deposits shall pass to the State in whose area the deposits have 

been made, and the liability to pay them shall also fall on that State. 

14. The securities held in the Zamindari Abolition Fund shall be allocated between the States of 
Madras, Andhra and Mysore in proportion to  the estimated amount of compensation payable in the 
territories comprised within the State of Madras as constituted on the appointed day, in the territories 
forming the State of Andhra and the transferred territory. 

15.  The  liability  in respect  of  the  undisbursed  amounts  in  the  Madras  Road  Fund  as  they  stand 
immediately  before  the  appointed  day  shall  be taken  over  by  the  State  in  which  the local bodies to 
whom they are payable exist. 

16.  Each  State  shall  take  over  the  liabilities  in  respect  of  the  Provident  Fund  accounts  of  the 

Government servants permanently allotted to it. 

17.  (1)  Subject  to  the  adjustment  mentioned  in  sub-paragraph  (3)  of  this  paragraph,  each  State 
shall, in respect of pensions granted by the State of Madras before the appointed day, pay the pensions 
drawn in its treasuries and sub-treasuries. 

38 

(2)  Subject  to  the  said  adjustment,  the  liability  in  respect  of  pensions  of  officers  serving  in 
connection  with  the  affairs  of  the  State  of  Madras  who  retire  or  proceed  on  leave  preparatory  to 
retirement  before  the  appointed  day  but  whose  claims  for  pensions  are  outstanding  immediately 
before that day shall be the liability of the State of Madras. 

(3) There shall be computed in respect of the part of the financial year 1953-54 commencing on 
the appointed day, and in respect of each subsequent financial year, the total payments made in each 
State in respect of pensions referred to in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph; and each of the 
States of Andhra and Mysore shall receive from, or pay to, the State of Madras the amount by which 
the total payments in the State of Andhra or the State of Mysore, as the case may be, for that part of 
the year or for that year exceed or, as the case may be, fall short of 36 per cent. in the case of the State 
of  Andhra  and  1⅓  per  cent.  in  the  case  of  the  State  of  Mysore,  of  the  total  payments  made  in  the 
States of Andhra, Mysore and Madras for that part of the year or for that year. 

(4) The liability in respect of pensions of officers retiring on or after the appointed day shall be 
that  of  the  State  granting  the  pension.  The  portion  of  the  pension  attributable  to  the  service  of  any 
such  officer  before  the  appointed  day  shall  be  allocated  between  the  States  of  Madras,  Andhra  and 
Mysore in the proportion of 62⅔: 36: 1⅓, and the State which has granted the pension shall be entitled 
to  receive  from  the  other  two  States  their  shares  of  this  liability.  In  respect  of  any  officer  whose 
services after the appointed day were partly in one of the States of Madras, Andhra and Mysore as 
granted the pension and partly in one or both of the other two States, such other State or each of such 
other States, as the case may be, shall reimburse the State by which the pension is granted an amount 
which bears to the portion of the pension of such officer attributable to his service after the appointed 
day the same ratio as the period of qualifying service of that officer after the appointed day under the 
State  bears  to  the  total  qualifying  service  of  such  officer  after  the  appointed  day  reckoned  for  the 
purposes of pension. 

Explanation.—Any  reference  in  this  paragraph  to  pension  shall  be  construed  as  including  a 

reference to the commuted value of such pensions. 

18. If and in so far as any item in suspense is ultimately found to affect an asset or liability of the 
nature referred to in the foregoing paragraphs, it shall be dealt with in accordance with provisions of 
the relevant paragraph. 

19. The benefit or burden of any assets or liabilities not dealt with in the foregoing paragraphs or 
in  section  48  or  section  49  or  section  50  or  section  66  shall  be  apportioned  between  the  State  of 
Madras and the States of Andhra and Mysore in such manner as the President may by order direct: 

Provided that  nothing  in  this  paragraph  shall  be taken  as  prohibiting  the  apportionment  of  such 

benefit or burden in any other manner if the States concerned so agree.
